Mike Olson, the outspoken CEO of Berkeley DB provider Sleepycat Software Inc., believes that the successful open source players of tomorrow will incorporate at least some aspects of proprietary computing into their business model.

He then runs through an interesting "thought experimentation" to show what would happen if Microsoft ever decided to embrace open source.
